britmaveric Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Drama in Soi Siam Country Club as woman threatens to jump from the top of a pylon. There was some late night drama in Soi Siam Country Club on Tuesday after local residents reported a young female who had climbed a pylon and was threatening to jump 150 feet to her death. Police and rescue units were called to the scene and it was left to a senior police officer to attempt to coax her down. It soon became clear the reasons behind her desperate actions. The woman, Khun Sawat aged 38 is married to Police Sergeant Egapon from Banglamung Police Station. Their marriage was going fine until her mother in law, Khun Pon aged 60 decided to move herself in and begin to control the household. Eventually the relationship between Khun Sawat and her husband became too much to bare and the couple split, three months before this incident. Khun Sawat fell into a deep depression which led to this suicide attempt. After three hours and assurances from the mother-in-law that she will move out, the woman was brought down from the pylon and as a precaution was sent to hospital but was released a few hours later. -Pattaya City News Wednesday 7th September 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 150 feet tall pylons - is there no limit to how Pattaya City News 'stretches' the truth for the benefit of a good story?

Chickenlegs Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 (edited) You've got to feel sorry for Police Sergeant Egapon. First his mother moves in, then his wife goes crazy. We should be surprised it wasn't him on top of that 150ft pilon (or was it 200ft) . Edited September 8, 2005 by Chickenlegs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average electric pylon is no more than 30-40 foot high. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was driving past when all of this was happening. It was actualy one of those big steel frame towers that the main electrical cables run along. Doubt it was 150 feet but she was very high up. Just about at the top. They had an enormous cherry picker there which they were trying to coax her onto. What got me was the number of gawkers that were watching. At least 100 vehicles parked by the roadside and more than 300 spectators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I wonder if my mother-in-law would move out if I climbed up a pylon? Nah! But if I closed my bank account .......... Now there's a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edh Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Took a while for some one too see my reply on these news paper quotes, so I guessed that this was liked by the Pattaya forum. I am away on work right now and I check the forum quite often, only to find people discussing the news which I already have read about. Will start a topic when there are no pattayacitynews.net do discuss but then again... High season coming up so I guess there will be loads of bike accidents, drug overdose, bar fights, chick fights, possesion of illegal substances, immigration related offences etc. etc. etc. to discuss Somehow this Pattaya forum has eneded up in people discussing Pattaya City News storys about peoples misfortune, suicides blah blah blah.
